Korg DW8000, Mono/Poly, MS-20...

I have a DW-8000 and can say for sure that on my unit those chips are not socketed.
Maybe on some units they were.

 both.

 On the Strellis web site, he mentions that the
 waveform ROMs were not socketed

 on his DW-6000, so I assume they are also not socketed on
 the DW-8000.  This makes

 installing this kind of mod a much bigger deal than simply
 unplugging chips and plugging

 a cable into the socket or something.  I wonder if people
 would really be happy

 with this mod long-term, since the expanded waveform
 selection cannot be saved with


 the patch, or controlled by MIDI.   Also, there seem to be
 lots more DW-8000's around than

 DW-6000's, whereas the 6000 seems a better candidate for
 the mod due to it's more limited

 waveform selection.
